Pear Cider, how to make an easy perry at home. Perry is cider made from pears instead of apples. We used whole fruit that we juiced for part of this, but also used pear juice since juicing fruit is really more work than it's worth UNLESS you have a very large, very abundant source of fresh pears. If you have that... by all means, juice your fruit to make pear cider! Great perry isn't difficult, and if you have that kind of access to pears, perry is something you should try!

Klingon Bloodwine - NOT a Cocktail, Real Wine. Worf didn't mix up various concoctions to have his young and sweet Bloodwine, neither should you! It's wine, so why not actually y'know, make wine? As in fermentation! Homebrew! We're all out of targs, and blood can do nasty things in wine, so we came up with a suitable recipe to replicate what we think Bloodwine might be like!
Of course, Bloodwine is a fictional product from a fictional TV show and series of movies. But, we're Star Trek fans and thought this would be fun to try. Klingon Bloodwine is our most complex recipe yet, and we are sharing the ingredient list below. Expect several videos to come in this series on Kllingon Blood Wine and... expect more Star Trek inspired brews!

What exactly is a traditional Irish Mead? Is there an authentic recipe for Irish Mead? I did some digging around on the internet for Irish Mead. Honestly, I didn't find much. There were a few references but they felt more like marketing for a product that isn't even mead than an authentic source for a traditional Irish Mead.
So, we did the best we could. One "recipe" we found wasn't old, it was fairly new. It was also more of a beer or braggot than mead. We used ingredients that should be easily and readily available in Ireland, such as heather tips and elderflowers.
Ingredients:
3.5 lbs Wildflower Honey: https://amzn.to/2FMcQB1
2 ounces Raisins: https://amzn.to/37q4evl
1 ounce (28 grams) Dried Elder Flowers: https://amzn.to/3dITbOQ
1/2 ounce (14 grams) Heather Tips: https://amzn.to/3m796cJ
Zest of half a Lemon
Water to fill to 1 Gallon

Our Strawberry Cider is based off of a brew I made years ago. Of course I didn't keep notes. So we set out to recreate this strawberry cider. Essentially it's a flavored apple cider. Okay, it's wine... not cider, since it's 14% ABV, but since it's based off of apples, strawberry cider sounds better than strawberry apple wine.

Tasting My Test of Banana Wine - Is Banana wine Really that Weird? Ever since we published our banana wine video, lots of people have questioned whether they would want to make it or not, based on it being... weird. Banana wine is common in many countries, but not in the ones that most of our audience reside in apparently. Well, I made one a year and a half ago, and today we are tasting it.

Brew like a Viking, not like a Chemist. Making Mead and Wine is simple... really.
New to Brewing? It doesn't have to be complicated. - Why We Do What We do. Natural Brewing instead of Chemical Additives. There's so much debate over brewing. Many people will tell you you HAVE to use things like nutrients, sorbates, sulfites, etc.... I say why? I don't say you can't, or shouldn't use those things. Instead, I say you don't need to in order to enjoy brewing your own mead and wine that you can be proud of.
Science has advanced many things, but I still don't feel like it's made brewing any better really in many ways. Then, the people who brew and tell others how literally make it so complicated that it's hard for people to begin brewing at all!
We keep it simple. We keep it fun, and we don't skimp on flavor.

Melomel! Making Cherry Chocolate Mead. A Mead as you probably know is a honey wine, made with honey, water and yeast. Well, if you add fruit to it, it becomes a melomel. Chocolate to me would make it a metheglin too but, a Melomel Methyglin Mead is a Mouthful!
This video is special for a few reasons.
1) We're using the Best Cherry Juice in the World! https://tabletreejuice.com/
2) We're using the Best Honey in the World! https://treasurestatehoney.com/
3) This is CitySteading's 1 Year Anniversary!
